What this opportunity is
The Department of Commerce is seeking sources for low temperature anodic bonding glass wafers, specifically requiring polished 4-inch diameter wafers with a thickness of 0.7 mm or 3 mm, and thermal expansion coefficients matching silicon within 20 ppm from 0-450 C. This opportunity is suitable for small businesses under NAICS 334516, particularly those specializing in materials or manufacturing. As this is a Sources Sought notice, interested vendors should track the opportunity for potential future solicitations rather than submit bids at this stage.
